What are Pazmat's lexical items for concepts like 'want'?

_________________
constructedlanguages.net

"Arwen" would be the closest thing to "want/wanting" as a noun.

Another word could be "Fercig", but that's more like "lust (for)", though it literally means "a tendency for over-excessive sexual actions"

What about verbs? How would you paraphrase the above sentences without desiderative constructions?

_________________
constructedlanguages.net

You can't.

_________________
Banami bhjaddhos rafi mau cy vyaja cecerror.

-Azenti Proverb

So, you have no lexical items corresponding to English 'to want'.

_________________
constructedlanguages.net

Yes. Unless you want to count "Fecigja" ("to lust for") or "Szozsya" ("to desire").

_________________
Banami bhjaddhos rafi mau cy vyaja cecerror.

-Azenti Proverb

One alternative that I find quite plausible is to have the desiderative affix as a cognate to the word for 'want' - the former could have originated as a reduced form of the latter.

_________________
constructedlanguages.net

That's actually what happened: an old verb for "to want" was "arciya", and eventually that wore down to be a desiderdative marker for verbs in general.

At this point, Zidhgebzhail doesn't have a verb 'to want'. It is instead found only as a modal suffix to a verb, taking the form of 'will/would' in the optative mood. In a verbless clause, the dummy verb can be used (see examples 3 and 4, below).

Yay, a five-for-one translation challenge. Telemor is fairly straightforward in having only a single verb for "to want", the irregular volare; thus, the same verb is used for all of these.
